cookies coffee and yarn, oh my!

Friday, April 04, 2008

My kids love those big molasses cookies from starbucks, and I have to admit, I do to. Unfortunately, whenever we go to starbucks they seem to be out. Maybe they stopped making them? I did a little search through Martha, and found a recipe that I think tastes very similar. Let me tell you, they are big. And chewy. And absolutely delicious.I put wax paper in between, just like the recipe said. I also added the pepper (yes, pepper) just like the recipe said. If you make them, you won't be sorry.Now this is my idea of the perfect afternoon. Coffee, cookie and yarn. Who could ask for anything more?

I plan on finishing those socks this weekend. Poor Ruby is feeling quite neglected.

hi! i am from spain. this cookies are realy delicius!!i have seen in the profile that you love crocheting?? me too, i make lots of things whit crochet !! toys, pins... sorry my english is not good but reading your blog is a way to improve it!!please to meet you. Cristina

mmm, thanks for the recipe... i have a weak spot for molasses cookies, mostly for their texture. the vegan ones in the bakery section at whole foods are absolutely delicious, too, if you're ever in a pinch (the vegan part makes them softer in the middle & chewier on the outside, on account of the extra molasses).

Well, we're still eating the yummy mint cookies from last week, but I think I might give these a try next :) I seem to have everything in except the molasses.Enjoy your Friday evening. We are going to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks at home and have popcorn.

oh, i am excited. putting it on the list of things to do this weekend. i have molasses in my fridge. such an odd ingredient for japan. i think somebody imported it and then gave it to me. oh, i am excited.

I have made those ones with pepper before! They are very good. I think Starbucks stopped selling theirs, though because they ran out of business - they kept putting the calorie count right up there with the cookies. Now you tell me, do you really want to know that each of those guys is 470? I don't think so. (Good thing that goat got ours!)

Welcome back, Leslie. I missed you. I made the espresso shortbread and was sooo disappointed. I wonder what I did wrong? They weren't sweet enough for my taste buds.I'll definitely be making your molasses ones, maybe tomorrow.

Mmmm - I can't wait to try these. Those Starbucks cookies are my all-time favourite so I am super excited at the prospect of being about to make an entire plate full. This could be very very dangerous (hee hee).

I LOVE those cookies!! Another good molasses cookie recipe,well, now that I think of it, maybe it was a ginger cookie...hmmm, in any case The Black Dog Resturant Cookbook, there are good cookie recipes in there, which surprised me for some reason... Thanks for sharing this recipe. There are so many that you have made that I want to try!

oh leslie, again with the good cookies!! I don't know if I should thank you or curse you--I love those starbucks cookies too too much and unfortunately, "ginger cookie diet" doesn't turn up much on google. Oh well, what's a few more laps on the elliptical machine??
